Temp Haptics Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description
Position Type: Contract-to-hire or contract preferred; direct hire optional (candidate must own Mac required)
Hourly Pay: $25 - $30
Location: Remote (U.S.)
Minimum Years of Experience Required: 2
Role summary
Existing production iOS app with a prepared calculation protocol boundary. Integrate a licensed third-party native biomathematical library behind that boundary, map SDK I/O to app DTOs, dual-run against an in-house baseline, feature-flag cutover, and ship without rewriting product UI.
Technical context
Area
Stack
Platform
iOS 17+, Swift 5.9+, SwiftUI
Architecture
MVVM-ish + service layer (singletons + @EnvironmentObject)
Persistence
Core Data; Keychain for sensitive params
Integrations
Tests
Scale
HealthKit, UserNotifications,
BackgroundTasks, haptics
XCTest unit/integration + UITests
~80 Swift files / ~18k LOC incl. tests
Process
Conventional commits; PR to main;
concurrency hygiene in progress
(@MainActor, Swift 6-oriented)
Architecture seam (already prepared):
SwiftUI Views
Services (data, HealthKit, notifications, personalization, monitor)
AlertnessEngine protocol ? integration point
Domain models + Core Data
Boundary already in place:

• Protocol: current state, forecast, optimize caffeine/dosing schedule, circulating level, related outputs
• Inputs/outputs use absolute Dates only at the boundary
• Single builder path: sleep + dose events + resolved subject profile - engine input
• Temporary in-house adapter implements the same protocol (dual-run baseline)
• DI provider swaps implementations without UI rewrites
• Planned doses are a real flag on events (not free-text parsing)
• Personalization traits resolved app-side and passed in; integrator does not own trait fitting unless contract expands

On-device only: no backend; computation and storage stay on device.
Responsibilities

• Package licensed lab library (SPM and/or XCFramework); pin versions; document upgrade path
• Implement protocol-conforming adapter; map lab SDK I/O ? app DTOs
• Lock unit/timebase/dose policy (see existing unit-policy docs); touchscreen vs hardware RT policy where relevant
• Build dual-run / golden regression harness vs in-house baseline; no silent behavior drift
• Feature-flag provider swap; document failure modes (missing sleep, bad inputs, SDK errors)
• Own release risk for incorrect predictions at the engine boundary; science/product sign-off on parity

Must-have

• Strong Swift and iOS (async/await, actors / @MainActor, working inside an existing SwiftUI codebase)
• Wrapping third-party native libraries (XCFramework / SPM), binary vs source integration, module/linker issues
• Defining and locking I/O contracts (timebases, units, dose schedules, absolute timestamps)
• Test discipline: dual-run, golden/regression tests, CI-friendly harnesses; no silent drift ? Clear async written communication; Mac development environment

Nice-to-have

• Sleep / circadian / caffeine PK-PD or biomathematical modeling exposure ? HealthKit, BackgroundTasks, local notification scheduling
• Scientific, clinical, or safety-critical app experience
• On-device performance profiling; numerical stability awareness
• Prior closed-source / licensed SDK integration under NDA
